Qlik Sense QVD Load

Hi, 

Is there a way to do a "or" statement in "where" clause while loading qvd? for example I have Table_A & Table_B which will be joined by a master_key. If I do: 

Load * 
Table_A
Where Table_A.Col1 is not null ;

Load *
Table B
Where Table_B.Col2 = "XYZ"; 

it works as "and" statement. 

I want something like 

Load * 
Table_A;

Load *
Table B; 

Where Table_A.Col1 is not null or Table_B.Col2 = "XYZ"


Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi

Try like below

MainTable:

Load * , Col1 from tableA;

Left join (MainTable)

Load * , Col2 from tableB ;

 

FinalTable:

NoConcatenate

Load *

resident MainTable where (not isnull(Col1) or Col2 = 'XYZ');

Drop table MainTable;

 

In Qlik,instead of "Table_A.Col1 is not null" , need to use "not isnull(Col1)".

Thanks & Regards, Mayil Vahanan R

Hi,

You need to bring both the columns into one table first using join. And then apply or in where condition.

E.g 

MainTable:

Load * , Col1 from tableA;

Left join (MainTable)

Load * , Col2from tableB 

 

FinalTable:

Load *

resident MainTable where Col1 is not null or Col2 = "XYZ"

 

Thanks,

Ashutosh
